I need some suggestions

[MikeS.]

By now most of you have seen where I have a 63 4x4 Burb coming to me from WA to WVa.

I want to upgrade the stock drums to disc, conversion kits seem to be out because of the 4x4. So reading here a 71-? axle swap would be my best bet.

So from 71 to what year? For a 4x4 axle with drum brakes.

What year axle do y'all recommend? Do I need to pay attention to gear ratio in the front diff?

Where is a good reliable place for repo front fenders? The same for a gas tank and electrical harness. I might wind up rewiring the entire rig, I'll know more once I get it here.

Thanks.
